Updated on: Tuesday, January 17, 2012

Majority of graduates surveyed from top management institutes like IIMs prefer a job profile of their choice to hefty pay packages, a study by industry body Assocham said.
 
In the survey conducted by the chamber, about 83 per cent of the respondents said job profile of their preference would help them in the long-term and they can compromise on big salary offers.
 
It has surveyed over 500 management students from business schools, including IIMs, IITs, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Symbiosis Institute of International Business and Xavier Institute of Management.
 
Among the sectors popular among these graduates, banking tops the chart followed by consultancy, marketing and IT, the survey said.

According to survey, management graduates like to work for a new company rather than for an established one.
